[SAVE 10% - NUTRITIONAL SUPPORT FOR MUCOUS MEMBRANES AND SKIN] [Omega 7 sea buckthorn oil] capsules are the end result of long and arduous research and have been investigated in several clinical studies, conducted in collaboration with various research institutes and universities. Studies indicate that Omega 7 is a reliable and effective nutritional supplement, which is particularly well suited for maintaining the well-being of the skin and mucous membranes. Menopausal women may benefit from the effects of Sea Buckthorn Oil, according to a study from Finland. Supplementing with Sea Buckthorn Oil, which is extracted from the berry of the sea buckthorn plant, is believed to help maintain natural lubrication during the menopause and help with vaginal dryness due to its soothing action on mucous membranes, such as those of the vaginal tract. Vaginal dryness is something around half of all women suffer from and is caused by the drop in oestrogen levels when a woman hits the menopause. Acid levels also begin to decline, leaving women open to invading microorganisms, which can cause yeast infections and urinary tract infections. The results of the first three months of the study also showed positive effects of Sea Buckthorn Oil on typical symptoms of Sjögren's syndrome, including dry mouth, dry eyes, fatigue, joint pain, pale finger, and atopic skin. Omega 7 capsules contain sea buckthorn oil extracted from both the berry pulp and seeds. This combination is called SBA24 sea buckthorn oil. It's a unique standardised oil containing all omega fatty acids in a balanced ratio. It is also rich in antioxidants and plant sterols, which are important for human well-being. Omega 7 sea buckthorn oil capsules are 100% plant-based and free from artificial colouring agents. This also makes them perfect for vegetarians and persons who are allergic to fish. [Ingredients] Sea buckthorn oil (from seeds and soft parts, manufactured by supercritical CO2 extraction) 72%, capsule shell (modified maize starch E1440, glycerol E422, gelling agent: carrageenan E407, acidity regulator: disocium phosphate E339, colours: iron oxide E172, titanium dioxide E171). [Nutritional Information] Each capsule contains: Energy 22.0kJ/5.3kcal, Protein 0mg, Carbohydrates 188mg, Fat 501mg (of which saturates 120mg, monounsaturates 205mg (of which palmitoleic acid 120mg, Cis-vaccenic acid 25mg, oleic acid 60mg), polyunsaturates 155mg (of which linoleic acid 90mg, alpha-linolenic acid 65mg). [Other Information] The berry of sea buckthorn has for hundreds of years been valued and used as a source of nutrients. The oil of sea buckthorn berry contains fatty acids of virtually all important series, omega-3, -7 and -9 and is exceptionally rich in palmitoleic acid (omega-7), rarely found in the plant kingdom. The oil is also rich in natural antioxidants tocopherols, tocotrienols, carotenoids and plant sterols. Antioxidants inhibit harmful oxidation of fatty acids in cell membranes. Plant sterols may be of benefit to cholesterol metabolism. Working synergistically, the nutrients in sea buckthorn oil support general well-being and may help maintain the health and integrity of cell membranes, especially in mucous membranes and skin.

It is our aim to offer a fast and reliable delivery service, using the method specified in the checkout procedure. The cost of your delivery is automatically calculated depending on the total value of your order. Any order £30 and above is free of charge.

We will endeavour to despatch all orders within 24 hours. If some or all items are unavailable, then we will contact you before shipping.

It is always best to allow up to seven working days for delivery but unfortunately this can sometimes take longer and we cannot guarantee delivery dates for overseas delivery dates as they are sometimes subject to customs clearance in the destination country due to the quality of postal services from country to country.

Other Important Information

Where it is not possible for Royal Mail to deliver your order, it will be held at your local Royal Mail office for 5 days before being returned to us. To contact your local sorting office to arrange re-delivery or collection, please call 08457 740 740 in the UK.

We would advise that you check your local sorting office before contacting us if delivery has taken more than seven working days in the UK and Overseas, although overseas customers may have to wait up to two weeks.

If your order has been 'lost in the post’, it will only be investigated 17 working days after it was shipped because it is only after this period that the Royal Mail regards postage as officially lost.

European customers should note that in some rare occasions parcels do appear to take longer than usual to arrive and in such occasions it may be necessary to wait longer before further action is taken. This is largely because of the varied quality of postal services throughout Eurozone countries.

After the post office has completed its investigations, it will subsequently refund Elixir for the value of the parcel and postage and package. Upon receiving our costs from the post office your replacement parcel will then be re-sent, or your costs reimbursed if the product is no longer required. Customers are therefore advised to request signed for deliveries to ensure full tracking opportunities.

Depending upon the weight of your consignment we will inform you of the price separately.

For deliveries within England, Scotland and the Channel Islands our charges are as follows:
